ETP is guided by a technical advisory panels of international and local expertise and country representatives, who advise the partnership in its technical work. Tailored program’s focus addresses the most intractable questions in energy transition and ETP’s agile approach enables diverse partners to engage in the energy transition discourse and the high impact of the programmes.
ETP’s Steering Committee, comprising representatives of its funding partners, provides strategic leadership and oversight to ETP and ETP Secretariat implements ETP’s projects, coordinates with the aligned programmes, and conducts dialogue with the energy transition stakeholders.
Our work is guided by the ETP Steering Committee formed of multiple funding partners who provide strategic leadership and oversight, and approve ETP technical assistance projects.

ETP Secretariat implements our projects, coordinates with aligned programmes and conducts dialogues with the energy transition partners and stakeholders to encourage the integration of renewable energy into the energy mix in Southeast Asia. The Secretariat is also fully responsible for daily management and operation of the ETP Programme, and supports the ETP Steering Committee.
The work of the Secretariat and Steering Committee is supported by an Advisory Panel created of energy exports providing strategic and programmatic advice to ensure successful implementation of the programme. Our country partners are internationally acknowledged as leaders and subject-matter experts in areas such as policy, economics, finance, energy or other cross-cutting themes.
Acting as intermediary, UNOPS hosts ETP Secretariat, and provides financial management, procurement and human resource services to implement the programme in accordance with ETP’s strategy, multi-year and annual work plans and budgets as well as UNOPS rules and regulations and legislative framework.
To mitigate the global impacts of climate change and deliver on the 2030 Agenda, partnership and collaboration are critical. ETP engages in collaborative multi-stakeholder partnerships to combine financial and technical resources, coordinate ongoing programmes in the region, lead dialogues with energy experts and expand knowledge to boost leadership and financing for energy transition.
We work with a variety of partners, from the UN family to governments, philanthropies, private sector, utilities, educational institutions, think tanks and civil society to advance climate action.
The multi-donor partnership foresees further growth and the members of ETP invite interested donors to join the initiative to achieve a greater impact through accelerated energy transition in the Southeast Asian region.
Under ETP, partners can align existing energy programmes with ETP strategy and country work plans, which are jointly delivered. The programmes are under the oversight of ETP Secretariat, ensuring shared goals are being pursued and actions jointly implemented:
In each country of implementation, we work with partners – local experts, who are part of the Advisory Panel and provide strategic advice to the ETP Steering Committee on local political-economic realities, priorities and focus areas to ensure efficient implementation of the programmes. Our country partners are internationally acknowledged as leaders and subject-matter experts in areas such as policy, economics, finance, energy or other cross-cutting themes.
